American 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper half of a man's body in profile from the waist up. He has a prominent nose and slightly receding hairline, and his dark hair is combed back. He wears formal attire, including a dark coat, reddish-brown waistcoat, and white high-collared shirt. The background is a plain, muted reddish-brown color with an oval frame around the man, giving the image a classical portrait appearance with a simple, dark-colored border.
